Hi Rowland, hi everyone
Same here. I've got the stuff into the schema according to:
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2013-January/170907.html
Do I also need the sfu schema too? I think not since the wiki doesn't
mention it either:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/Schema_extenstions
(Which does not work, but I can at least see where it's heading)
I think this is because sfu was for the older 2003 schema whereas Samba
uses 2008. The thing is that neither article refer to nis maps nor sfu.

What I'm stuck on (I think you too) is how to get the maps into AD armed
with only 2 objectClasses:
CN=automountMap
CN=automount

and one attribute:
CN=automountInformation

e.g. how do I go from an auto.master like this:
/home/users /etc/auto.users
to AD-LDAP syntax?

Cheers,
Steve
